Getting To Know The Community
ATA Martial Arts has also gone through many buildout phases too. We got our rough wiring inspection completed and passed on Friday. We will soon be able to begin putting up the rest of the drywall, tile, install the counters and paint. January 2nd, our official grand opening date, is only right around the corner! We will have everyone's first class as well as uniform fittings that Friday as well as Saturday. We have already started to receive sponsors, like Brothers Pizza, who will help by donating refreshments that day! Hope to see you there.

We also introduced ourselves to a few daycares in the area today. Every daycare we met was open to having ATA Martial Arts visit their facility and show the kids the positive skills that ATA teaches. Our first daycare class is this Wednesday!

Electricity!!
We also went to West Goshen today and introduced ourselves to the stores in a local shopping center. We scheduled a book reading of the Kung Fu Panda books for Wednesday December 17th at 10:30 at Chester County Books & Music. The ladies who worked there were very welcoming. ATA Martial Arts of West Chester has also volunteered to ring the bell for the Salvation Army on Saturday December 6th from 2 until 4 at the Bradford Acme.
Today we took a trip to the West Chester Post Office and finally got the key to our mailbox on site at Bradford Plaza. We can officially receive mail at our 658 Downingtown Pike address. How exciting!!

Halloween Night
On Halloween we did what we like to call "reverse trick-or-treating" with the help of Mr. Alvarez, Ms. Storck, and Ms. Bradley. We went to a close neighborhood, knocked on doors, and handed out information and candy. We met a lot of nice families and look forward to them visiting the school. Many people had already heard that we were coming into the area and have visited our website. The community loved the idea of "reverse trick-or-treating" and were excited to meet us. We hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!

The Cleanout
We also framed out the offices that visitors will see to the right of the workout floor when they come in. There are five: an introduction room, a student/instructor meeting room, storage room, a personal office, and a utility closet. We are so excited that we can finally see the image of ATA West Chester!
This past weekend was also filled with meeting the managers, workers, and owners of fellow storefronts in the shopping center. They all seem to be very excited that something new, like ATA Martial Arts, is coming into Bradford Plaza. They were extremely welcoming. We look forward to building lasting relationships with the shopping center as well as the entire West Chester community.

The Demolition
We were delighted and felt very welcomed today when we saw passersby in the shopping center pop their heads in our door to see what we were up to. All who stopped by were very excited to find out that ATA Martial Arts was coming into their
area!
Our goals over the next few weeks are to clean up after today's demo, post "coming soon" signs in the windows, and to introduce ourselves to households, schools, and other businesses in the surrounding area. We learned a lot today about our space and are eager to learn even more as the next few weeks pass by before we are finally open and doing what we love to do....teach martial arts and life skills!

The Beginning
Today we got the key to the door of our building and will begin introducing ATA to the town of West Chester next week! We have a lot of work to do on the inside of the building, but hopefully once
our permits are cleared we will be ready to open shortly after. To the right of the post, you will see pictures of the building before our buildout. It used to be the home of a dancing school, hence the mirrors and dance floor. We are so excited to finally start putting our vision into reality and making this ATA's home!
